The use of the portable generator has become commonplace even in our high tech world where we think we have an endless supply of energy and electricity. Over the years we have learned that we can lose our electric at any time and any place. Whether it be a wind storm, an ice storm, a tornado, or hurricane, the electric can go. The natural disaster can happen at any time and anywhere. It is at those time that we really do need to do our research and read up on the many portable generator reviews and buy one to help us through those times. We may need the refrigerator to protect our food, or the light to keep us safe, or even heat to keep us warm. With a portable generator, all of this can happen for us.

Perhaps the two most common types of generators that individuals use are powered by propane and by diesel fuel. This is because these types of fuels are fairly easy to obtain during power outages and disasters. These fuels are easy to store and have a long shelf life. Hooking up these types of generators is fairly simple and safe as well. That is an important aspect when buying any portable generator. You also want to make sure that it can do the job for you. Make sure when purchasing a generator that it has enough watts to supply power to the items you want to run. Your local store can help you with that decision and provide you with the specs you need. You can also find help online and through government agencies in selecting the right type of generator. One of the most popular brand names of generators on the market today is Generac Generators. But there are many brand names out there which provide good quality, value, and safety for your money.

Remember that the portable generator is also a power supply that can be used for camping trips and outdoor activities. Many generators are used to power tools for construction sites. It may be the only convenient source that can be used for those situations. Many time the portable generator also is used when an extension cord just will not handle the job or the circumstances. Almost all generators will come with safety guidelines and operational directions and instructions. You should always go over these manuals carefully. Most generators will have easy steps to make repairs and keep up with routine maintenance as well. Someday there may be practical solar generators that are available for us to use. Many homes are already using some power generated by solar energy.

There has been a recent spike in the number of US GIs who have died in ambushes and other conflict with Iraqis. While the US is blaming the attacks on “Saddam Loyalists” there have been massive demonstrations since the US seized Baghdad against the “US occupiers.” Recently, a young Iraqi woman tossed a grenade at US troops and was gunned down. She is now heralded in mosques throughout Iraq as a legendary hero. In response to the arrests of several Shiite religious leaders, a leaflet was handed out warning of a pending “intifada” against the US occupiers should the arrests continue. And then, after a day of US raids on homes of numerous Iraqi, in the town of Hit, an uprising began with demonstrations by hundreds, turning into thousands and ended in the withdrawal of US troops and the torching of the local police station.Read more
